WHAT IS PUBLIC SPEAKING?
• Public speaking is a presentation that's given live before an
audience.
• Public speeches can cover a wide variety of different topics.
The goal of the speech may be to educate, entertain, or
influence the listeners.
• Visual aids in the form of an electronic slideshow are used to
supplement the speech and make it more interesting to the
listeners.
• A public speaking presentation is different from an online
presentation because the online presentation may be viewed
and/or listened to at the viewer's convenience, while a public
speech is typically limited to a specific time or place.

• Developing critical thinking skills
• Fine-tuning verbal and nonverbal skills
• Overcoming fear of public speaking

4 TYPES OF PUBLIC SPEAKING

1. Informative Speaking
This type of public speaking focuses on explaining a
concept or idea to the audience. Informative speakers tend to
focus on specific subject matter, such as people, events, places,
stories and so on.
2.Persuasive Speaking
Persuasive speaking is the act of convincing members of
your audience to do something, based on them agreeing with
your viewpoint.

3. Demonstrative Speaking
Demonstrative speeches are ones where the speaker
performs actions, and clearly explains those actions in the
process.

4. Ceremonial Speaking
Ceremonial speeches are all about giving speeches during
special occasions (such as weddings, birthdays, graduations,
and so on). The goal of ceremonial speaking is to trigger an
emotional response from an audience. It’s all about fostering
an emotional connection with the people who are taking the
time to listen to you.

4 WAYS OF DELIVERY IN PUBLIC SPEAKING

1. Impromptu Speaking
Impromptu speaking is the presentation of a short message
without advance preparation. Impromptu speeches often
occur when someone is asked to “say a few words” or give a
toast on a special occasion.
2. Extemporaneous Speaking
Extemporaneous speaking is the presentation of a carefully
planned and rehearsed speech, spoken in a conversational
manner using brief notes.

3. Manuscript Speaking
Manuscript speaking is the word-for-word iteration of a
written message. In a manuscript speech, the speaker maintains
his or her attention on the printed page except when using
visual aids.

4. Memorized Speaking
Memorized speaking is the rote recitation of a written
message that the speaker has committed to memory.

know-how and some effort.
